1. Application of Information Technologies in Precision Apiculture

Apiculture, widely known as beekeeping, is one of the agriculture’s sub directions, where Precision Agriculture (PA) methods can be successfully applied. Adaptation of PA methods and technics into Apiculture, as well as integrating information technologies into beekeeping process can change and improve the beekeepers understanding of bee... E.

2. Field Evaluation of Automated Estrus Detection Systems - Meeting Farmers' Expectation

Automated systems for oestrus detection are commonly marketed as a suitable, or in some cases, a higher performing alternative to visual observation. Farmers, particularly those with larger herds relying on less experienced staff, view the perceived benefits of automated systems as both economic and physical, with expectations of improved oestrus detection efficiency with lower labour input. There is little evidence-based information available on the field performance of these systems to... B.T. Dela rue, C. Kamphuis, J.G. Jago, C.R. Burke

3. Optimizing Experimental Design for Determining Economic Nitrogen Levels: Insights on the Use of Monte Carlo Simulations

The determination of economic nitrogen levels is a pivotal element in the quest for sustainable agricultural practices. Designing experiments to accurately identify these levels, especially in contexts constrained by limited plot availability, poses a significant challenge. In response to these challenges, this study endeavors to demonstrate  an approach to optimize the experimental design for identifying economic nitrogen levels, even under such constraints. We employed statistical...

4. 3D Computer Vision with a Spatial-temporal Neural Network for Lameness Detection of Sows

The lameness of sows is one of the biggest concerns for swine producers, which can lead to considerable economic losses due to reduced productivity and welfare. There is a real need for early detection of lameness in sows to enable timely intervention and minimize loss. Currently, lame detection relies on visual observation and locomotion scoring of sows, which is subjective, labor-intensive, and difficult to conduct for large groups of animals within a short time. This study presents 3D computer... Y. Wang, Y. Lu, D. Morris, M. Benjamin, M. Lavagnino, J. Mcintyre
